Hi guys, i want a firmware or custom rom for galaxy gt-i9100t, if there is any rom after 4.1.2 ! , also i have a question: the normal rom for g-ti9100 could be installed on gt-i9100t !!?
There isn't any stock firmware >4.1.2. Yes, you can flash I9100 stock roms on the I9100T, but you may have to use a modem from an I9100T rom if you're using the phone on a network belonging to a carrier who sold the I9100T.
okay 10x for help, i'm so greatfull
What about a i9100 custom rom?! Can i use it to i9100t !?

Yes, of course. the I9100 & I9100T (I also have an I9100T) are exactly the same except for a very slight difference in radio output, achieved by firmware - the modem.
If you flash an I9100 stock rom, it will include an I9100 modem which might (not always though) mess with your connectivity, and as I hinted at in my PP, in my experience, using modems which have been bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T tends to result in the best connectivity. You can check these by searching the I9100T firmwares on Samfirmware, which lists the baseband (modem), and you can then find/download whatever modem in question here.
However, if after flashing an I9100 stock rom your connectivity is OK, no need to change the modem. Only change the modem if your connectivity isn't great. Custom roms don't include modems, so flashing a custom rom won't change your current modem.
i got it, thank you very much for your help and your notes about the modem thing :good: .

I posted this on the wrong forum and was directed to post it here. I'm not new to the Custom ROM scene, having come from my HTC Desire. However, the SGS2 is my first Samsung product, and hence a few of the terms are rather confusing to me, and I hope this'll help somebody else as well besides me.
1. Why are there so many different kernels? KF1? KF2? XXKF1? XXKF2? What're the differences? Can I flash a KF1 kernel into a phone that already has KF2?
2. What's the difference between an i9100 and an i9100T? Can I flash a kernel designed for an i9100 into an i9100T phone?
3. What do the different shipped modems mean (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1131950)? How are they relevant when I'm choosing which ROM to flash into my phone?
4. What's a HIDSWVER and why are we collecting it (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1089874)?

Ask Samsung release 1 2 3 4 . KF1 before KF3 etc
Yes you can flash an older kernel over a later kernel .
A kernel is not full firmware just the kernel .
2. What's the difference between an i9100 and an i9100T? Can I flash a kernel designed for an i9100 into an i9100T phone?
NOT UNLESS IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS SO .
3. What do the different shipped modems mean (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1131950)? How are they relevant when I'm choosing which ROM to flash into my phone?
You get a modem with firmware different versions different parts of the world .
Shipped modems posts is putting individual modems all in one place .
Relevance is not required unless you want to try different modems with firmware .
4. What's a HIDSWVER and why are we collecting it (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=1089874)?

PLEASE READ EDIT BELOW ALSO.CHEERS
Im quite familiar with flashing and odin and flashing kernals and roms via cwm and have done it many times but what ive been noticing lately are people who have modems that dont match their firmware.This is something ive never taken notice of before since i just did the basics.A modem is the country based part as ive found out so heres my question.To have a kg6 with a spanish modem (spain being where i live) do i also have to download my countrys firmware open the kg6 for the csc and kernal files then open the other firmware for the modem?.It just sounds a bit risky although its meant to make the phone function better.Im a bit confused cos when 2.3.4 isnt even global yet ive seen S2 phones with aparrently local modems.Is it possible to use a 2.3.3 modem with 2.3.4 then??....
EDIT:Ive been reading on and seeing that its the baseband that appears to be from 2 firmwares.I have kg6 with a xxkg6 baseband but am seeing others with kg6 and basebands from completely different firmwares?!.So is it possible to mix a 2.3.3 baseband with 2.3.4 cos gingerbread insnt global officially global so how would there be regional basebands.Is it safe and does it improve the phone that much?.Im interested in learning more about it and giving it a try but not without first being a bit more informed.cheers
Any modem can be used with any rom.
I have used modem ranging from ke7 to kh3 on roms from kf2 to kg6.
As far as choosing a modem, try them all, and find one which works best for you, as far as I know modems are not county coded so a kg6 modem is a kg6 modem whatever the country code.
Csc is just mostly apn settings and bundles apps for the region, generally you can use any csc with any rom, but if you have problems most csc's cover most regions.

Thanks.What ive started noticing is that some people that have kg6 like me appear to have 2 firmwares.I saw one person for example that had a Galaxy SGS2-XXKG6-VR 2.4.2-Ninpho 2.0.5 EXACTLY like mine but my baseband is i9100xxkg6 and their baseband was xxkh3.how is that possible if you dont use 2 firmwares and what affect does it have over the operating system.i though this was the local side to it all like local operators and tower conections?how is it done safely?
Firmware version KG6 with Modem version KG1 or KH1 .
Modem is part of original rom package can be flashed separate versions are mostly interchangeable .Custom rom may have different modem version .
Modem file flashed via Odin as PHONE .

Hi guys
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question but I’m a bit confused with connection between ROMs and Modems.
I have flashed a few custom ROMs to my SGS2 and have found that some of the cooks have included modems in their ROMs.
To my understanding Modems are specific per country and not all modems work well in all countries. I am located in Israel and the official Samsung ROM from the mobile provider is I9100TJIKG1
After flashing a custom ROM (SensatioN by CRYSIS) using CWM I found that I no longer have HSPA and my maximum connection speed is Edge.I tried dong a restore from CWM this restored my ROM but not the modem. I then flashed back to my original ROM via Odin (was able to find a copy) but this does full flash.
My questions are as follows
Is there a way to flash just the modem via CWM or Odin? (preferably CWM)
Does the Modem have to be compatible with the ROM?
If I find a custom ROM I like can change just the Modem?
How do I choose a modem? Is there any logic in the naming of the modems that can help me identify if the modem is compatible prior to flashing?
Thanks

Dear members here,
Can i just ask or know if its ok or advisable to flash other region ROM (eg XWLP7)on my SG2 as i am from singapore and baseband version is DXLP9 (ICS) or DXKL3 (GB).
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash a stock rom for another region. You more than likely won't be able to get OTA firmware updates tho if you do. You'd need to re-flash stock firmware for your region in order for those to work again. And even if you do, some people still end up having problems getting OTA firmware updates once they've done so. Which isn't a massive problem as it's easy enough to flash firmware updates for your region via Odin (many people on XDA have done this).
Also, make sure to use a firmware for a model suitable for your phone.
I9100G can only use i9100G firmwares and kernels...
I9100, I9100P, and I9100T can all use each others' firmwares and kernels.
Thanks for all the advise.. i have loaded a baseband of NELP3 and its amazing...
Hey, I couldn't find forum for my device, I wanted to know if there is any rom to my S2 i9100T?
I'm sick of the stock rom (running on android 2.3.5) and I wanted to upgrade, thanks alot!
The I9100T is exactly the same phone as the I9100 save for a slight difference in radio output - you can use any firmware for the I9100 on a I9100T. The only thing you need to watch out for is the modem; I very much recommend you stick to modems bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T (at least in the first instance; particularly if you're using the phone on one of those networks). As you can flash modems independently of roms, this is no big deal.
